MICROBIOME
A microbiome is a collection of microorganisms living in a certain habitat, and in the case of the beauty and cosmetics industry, they're living in your skin (composed of more than 1000 different species of bacteria). Microbiome-friendly products are designed to have a therapeutic effect on the skin and usually are gentle and soothing. The skin's microbiome is most disrupted by harsh hygiene, which typically involves antibacterial soaps or over exfoliation.
